Burbon Chicken

[ldydrgnkpr 49]

I just made Burbon chicken. It is wonderful. I wanted to try this receipe however it was carb loaded for my taste. So I subsituted the brown sugar with splenda brown sugar and omited the apple juice. Not sure how much the carbs were lowered. By using the receipe the way it is the carb count is 23.4 grams. So I figured what the hay, and give it a shot. Also I used the low sodium soy sauce. (no rice or noodles. I did use green pepper, mushrooms, celery, onion and broccoli. Once sauce is ready place the veges in and simmer for 5-8 minutes. Then add chicken and simmer another 10-15 minutes) Enjoy!!!

Sounds great, thanks for sharing. I'll try it this week. I'll try it as written because I'm not nearly as strict about my carbs - besides, I barely eat half of one portion!

FYI, I plugged it into myfitnesspal as written calling it a six serving recipe (it could be anywhere from 4-6 with 2 lbs. of chicken and I chose 6 due to my smaller portion size). Using the brand of ingredients I have floating around and without veggies it has 232 calories, 15 grams carbs, 4 grams fat and 30 grams of Protein. Add in some veggies and you'll have extra carbs but if you skip the rice this sounds like a good meal, even in the losing stage.
